Chapter Fourteen Straight Talk

"Brother Li, brother is kind enough!"

Yuan Zong first saw Li Zicheng's expression and thought it was not good, so he quickly persuaded him.

"Brother Yuan, please, I respect you!"

Li Xin did not respond and picked up the cup and greeted Yuan Zongdi slightly. He drank it all in one gulp, then poured another cup, and said to Li Zicheng: "King of Chuang, the student did not want to rebel against the good intentions of the King of Chuang. It was because the students' parents died early. The only name left for the students is that I really dare not change it. I will punish myself three cups now. Please forgive me!"

After saying that, I took three cups in a row.

Although he showed sincerity when he refused to change his name, Li Zicheng still disguised himself as a big brother in the army. The big brother changed his name to you to see you, but you are ungrateful. Do you want your face? How can you obey it if it is spread?

For people in the world, face is the most important thing.

In fact, Li Xin did not deliberately try to dispel Li Zicheng's face and changed his name to Li Yan, but he couldn't pass his own obstacle. According to his speculation, the original owner Li Xin was an authentic Confucian scholar, so he must not change his name willingly. He just came to the army to join the army hostage by Hong Niang. With Li Zicheng's suggestion and Hong Niang's help, he had to change it.

Li Xin is different. When he gets along with Hong Niangzi, he is not the weaker side. To a considerable extent, Hong Niangzi cannot interfere with his decision, and he was also a big brother in his previous life. How could he bow to Li Zicheng?

But no matter what reason is, it is an indisputable fact that he offended Li Zicheng, and the atmosphere between him is no longer as natural as it was at the beginning.

Yuan Zongdi also secretly complained, blaming Li Xin for being ungrateful and complaining that Li Zicheng was too hasty. He still admired Li Xin quite a bit and wanted to make the scene come back, so he asked: "Brother Li Xin, brother, I have been struggling and have stood firm. I wonder what you think of our army in the future?"

"Um?"

Li Xin moved his heart. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He could pretend to be drunk and speak the truth and give two suggestions that Li Zicheng could not accept. This would not only avoid being valued by Li Zicheng, but also allow Hong Niangzi and his generals to recognize Li Zicheng's true face.

He expected that Li Zicheng's foundation was not stable and he would never dare to kill himself in anger. Even if he had murderous intentions, he would also use a secret move. As long as he did not kill him in person, there would always be a way to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Li Xin suddenly laughed, picked up the wine glass, and drank another glass.

The Hongniang frowned and advised, "Young Master Li, you have drunk too much."

"I'm not drunk!"

Li Xin waved his hand very much, then bowed up and said, "I don't know if the King of Chuang wants to listen to the truth or to lie?"

Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Of course I listen to the truth. Is Mr. Li worried that the truth is unpleasant? Don't worry, no matter how big the waves I, Li Chuang, have come over. Could it be that I can't even listen to a few unpleasant words? Don't worry, they are all my brothers, so boldly!"

"Okay, the King of Breaking is happy, the student offended him!"

Li Xinmeng nodded: "The students came for the first time and didn't know much about the army, but as far as they saw it, the army has not yet established a clear military rank system, and it still takes the loyalty of the world first. You can see from the fact that everyone calls King Chuang as the eldest brother.

Since the King of Chuang was determined to compete with Chongzhen for the world, it is not impossible to establish a strict system of superior and inferior superiors, which will inevitably lead to many orders, which will make it difficult for the superiors to move forward. This is not a big problem in the early stage of being weak and small, but in the later stage, with the expansion of the number of people and the complexity of the organization, many problems will arise, and some people even rely on their identities as old brothers to rely on their seniority to trample on their authority!

Taking Zhu Hongwu of this dynasty as an example, Chen Youliang is far better than him in terms of power. Zhang Shicheng is even better when it comes to cherishing the people, but why was Zhu Hongwu, not others, who took over the world of the Yuan Dynasty?

There are many different opinions on this, but in the eyes of the students, the key is that Zhu Hongwu has a complete political system and military system. Everyone under his command is in their own position and knows what to do and what not to do, so that they can work together. Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, one is a water bandit and the other is a salt ox. At the beginning of the uprising, they have a strong habit of martial arts and orders from the superiors to move downward. The people below may not be afraid of those who are superiors, and their responsibilities are unclear and the levels are not distinguished. How can there be a reason for invincibility?

Since the King of Chuang asked about it today, the student tried his best to advise him. He hoped that the King of Chuang would not ignore it easily, just as Bian Que saw Duke Huan of Cai, and his minor illness would eventually lead to great trouble!"

As soon as these words came out, the palace was as quiet as death!

A cold light flashed in Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi's eyes. Although they and Li Zicheng are divided into superiors and subordinates, they are essentially brotherly loyal. By the way, how can they be happy as brothers?

This kid is vicious in his intentions and is a scattered relationship between us brothers!

He Hu and Zhang Quan were sweating from their foreheads, and even Zhang Quan was picking up food, but the hand holding the chopsticks was fixed in the air and forgot to move.

But Madam Hong glanced at Li Xin with a complicated expression. How could she not tell? Li Xin did it on purpose, but this is also reasonable. The so-called loyal words are unpleasant, and good words must be bad.

On the other hand, although Li Zicheng was not moved on the surface, he actually nodded secretly in his heart. Li Xin said this to his heart. He also understood that being an emperor is better than being a eldest brother. If he could really learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, purify the entire army, and establish a system of superiority and inferiority. Not to mention the smooth government and military orders, he was also the biggest beneficiary. He just looked at Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu again, and shook his head secretly. This matter... is not urgent.

"Young Master Li, you are drunk!"

Li Zicheng stroked his beard and said lightly.

"King of Chuang, I'm not drunk, the student still has a word. I wonder if the King of Chuang is willing to listen?"

Li Xin asked with his neck stammering.

Li Zicheng said: "I have spoken freely, and Mr. Li said frankly."

"good!"

Li Xin asked: "I wonder what King Chuang has next?"

Li Zicheng pondered: "Advance into the Central Plains as soon as possible to save the suffering people."

The Hongniang suddenly felt an indescribable disappointment that surged in her heart. The King of Chuang really had no intention of attacking Nanyang. Is his vision really so bad? He couldn't help but look at Li Xin.

"The King of Chuang is such a bad word!"

Li Xin firmly reconciled: "Since the King of Chuang has been erratic since the rebellion, he has been defeated several times. He has suffered from no foundation. Now that he has obtained Dengzhou, how can he not take Nanyang?

The Nanyang Basin is 800 miles wide, with fertile land. It controls Jingxiang in the south and the Central Plains in the north. It is actually a place of Longxing. The students thought that the King of Chuang should contact Zhang Xianzhong to help him defeat Yang Sichang, Xianzhong seizes Xiangyang, and then join forces with Xianzhong to attack Nanyang. After taking down Nanyang, they temporarily suspended their troops, supplications for the people, and developed production. They had enough manpower and financial resources to march north to the Central Plains, but it could be determined by a battle. What's more, if the King of Chuang went north at this time, it would only be a waste of time for Jianlu."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Li Zicheng said in surprise.

Li Xin said seriously: "The dispute between King Chuang and Chongzhen is like a family of brothers. The eldest brother abuses the second brother. The second brother commits his rebellion. This book is nothing, but there are evil dogs outside the family. Jiannu is an evil dog, and he is watching the side, just like at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. If King Chuang and Chongzhen fight, and both sides are in trouble, Jianlu breaks into the door and turns to the guest, wouldn't it be a pain for the relatives and the enemy be happy?
